Fire. Red, hot fire. Smoke too. Its everywhere and I can barely breathe. I think I hear alarms. Somethings falling.
. . .
I hear it. The wailing of... Some thing. A baby-no. Maybe a siren. Oh, Its all so blurry. I hear people talking but I don't know what about. There shouting. I think there talking to me but I can't move my mouth.
. . .
I feel something soft. So soft I could sink into it. Oh no, I'm falling.
Down
D o w n
D o w ...
I land on something. Its hard. No- soft and bouncy. I feel hands. Can't move. Hands are everywhere. Cold, stiff hands everywhere. Where are they coming from? They're gone, suddenly. Now there's nothing. Everything is dark. I hear a voice.
"I curse you with this. Every day at 12:00am you will be sent somewhere. To a world of monsters. Horrid creatures that are unimaginable. Good luck and goodbye... For now." It finished with a hiss.
. . .
My eyes shoot open. I am in...
A hospital..?
I look around, confused. It smells like chemicals and I taste blood in my mouth. I look down. I'm on a pale, boring bed. I try to get up but I realize there's a cast on my left leg and bandages everywhere.
I saw someone look up at me from a chair beside the bed. She looked shocked.
"Nurse! Come quick she's awake!" the woman yelled as she walked towards the open doorway.
I try to speak but nothing comes out. Just then the nurse comes in with the woman.
"Oh, you're awake? I never thought you would make it. Not with the state you were in" the nurse said as she started some tests to make sure I was ok.
She helped me to a room with a sign saying:
" Nurse Amobi"
I guess that's her name. She sat me in the chair and sat behind a desk grabbing a few papers. She scanned through them before turning her head towards me, fixing her circular glasses.
"So, Lillian Wirthfim, listen closely. You are 13 years old and were recently in a fire. You hit your head on something and blacked out. You were severely injured by debris and burns. And you seem to be suffering from memory loss." she paused, stared at me for a bit then frowned before continuing. "Your parents have both passed in that incident. Although you may not remember anything, I am truly sorry for your loss." She finishes with a heavy sigh.
I just sat there staring. Barely comprehending what was just said.
